New in PJ Media:
When President Donald Trump attended the NFL game between the Detroit Lions and the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., the establishment media, avid as ever to portray Orange Man Bad not only as the enemy of all that is good, but as the man whom everyone hates, reported that he was booed.
And he was, which is not surprising given that the crowd was likely made up of a large number of deep state apparatchiks, but even the far-left “fact-checker” Snopes had to admit that many also “clapped and cheered.” Some players joined in the enthusiasm, but the left still has hegemony over large segments of the culture, and so one of them has now duly apologized.
A Detroit Lions player with the memorable name Amon-Ra St. Brown was so excited that the president was at the game that when he scored a touchdown, he pointed to the box where Trump was watching the game and briefly broke out into the famous fist-pumping “Trump dance,” with several of his teammates joining in. A video feed showed this while running a caption identifying the player as “Amon-Ra St. Trump.”
That was all. It was a charming moment, and that was all it would have remained, except for the fact that Amon-Ra St. Brown had broken one of the cardinal rules of the left: never, ever act as if Trump were a normal human being, or that anything he does is not evil. And so Amon-Ra St. Brown had to be brought to heel.
The New York Post reported Wednesday that St. Brown engaged in his Maoist self-incrimination session on the “St. Brown podcast,” which he hosts along with his brother, who, not to be outdone, is named Equanimeous St. Brown. On their Wednesday show, Amon-Ra St. Brown made it clear to the world that he wasn’t that most execrable of things, a Trump supporter, and issued an implicit plea not to be ostracized forever from the society of the good and righteous.
Adopting an appropriately contrite tone, St. Brown said: “First of all, if I offended anyone, I do apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone.” Of course. But clearly leftists have made known to him that he has done so, and despite the fact that Amon-Ra St. Brown is a two-time All-Pro, he clearly knows that offending the left can mean career ruin. He pleaded with the inquisitors to understand that he was just having a bit of something these humorless scolds know nothing about: fun. “It was just, we’re having fun,” he pleaded. “If any president was at that game and had a dance I would have done it. It had nothing to do with who the president was.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Leftism/Islamism in Detroit or anywhere, corrupts the innocent, will the innocent ever stop capitulating to leftism/Islamism, the Satanists of the world?

I thought that after the elections, this was over, and that now, celebrities are free to support Republicans if they choose (since Trump won the popular vote as well). Somehow, that message has still not sunk in in some corners
WPM says
The MSM is still suffering from TDS as are many entertainers and sport team owners who seem to pander to the woke mob. Any time someone treats Trump as a human being in word or act they go bonkers .If Trump announced a cure for cancers was just discovered by science they the MSM would put a negative spin on it and blame cancer on Trump. This nation was lead by a demented nursing home escapee for 4 years and the MSM cover for it for 3.5 years when the truth could not be hidden any longer..

Remember the joke illustrating that no matter what Bush did the media would
criticize him? I’ll update it for Trump.
Trump is out lake fishing with friends in a row boat when they
spot a man drowning.
Trump gets out of the boat, walks on the water over to the man and saves him.
The Media headline is : “TRUMP CAN’T SWIM!”

Just another reason why I have completely stopped watching the NFL.
Compare and contrast player behavior during the Army-Navy game coming up on December 13th.

Maybe we shouldn’t give up but bring it back. Watch the watchable old stuff on YouTube instead James. A time when men were men and and gentlemen were gentlemen ever if they were called, just, football players.

Players of today, name one that is extraordinary. Name one player that is in the category of players of the past. As is said in all the videos all of them they were just average guys that no one would have never suspected they were capable of what they were capable of.

tgusa,
Thanks for your reply and provided links.
Interestingly, I recently re-watched Super Bowl III, Jets versus Colts 1969 – my favorite Super Bowl:
Super Bowl III: “Joe Namath’s Guarantee” | Jets vs Colts | NFL Full Game
tgusa says
You’re welcome James. And most everyone predicted the Jets would lose to the Colts. My favorite Super Bowl was Super Bowl XVIII

I liked the whole Raider team but I had been a fan of Marcus Allen since he was at USC. Which was always my favorite college football team.
James Lincoln says
There, fixed it for Super Bowl III:

James, I’m that way about movies and television shows.
The old ones, I watch time and again and ignore the new stuff.
Movie-makers and script-writers can’t seem to leave out full-in the face intimacy and every other word is an obscenity.
I recently watched some “I Married Joan” shows I had never seen. Was able to laugh a lot.
tgusa says
A supposed tough football player but not much of a man.Back in the day when I used to watch the NFL I had many favorite football players but my number one was Howard Matthew Moses Long (Howie Long) a going for it take no prisoners no matter what kind of guy.

Now we have to suffer this crap.
tgusa says
Before Howie I rooted for Alan Page, Minnesota Vikings, Bob Lilly, Dallas Cowboys. I have always liked those types of players. I never rooted for a particular team I rooted for the players I liked no matter which team.
somehistory says
some of my favorites, Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson and Tony Dorsett.
I no longer watch any football unless it’s a part of something else I’m watching.
tgusa says
I was a young Cowboys fan (Roger Staubach, Calvin Hill) living in South Orange County Ca in my early years of watching the NFL. One year, around 1970 myself and my two brothers got helmets for Christmas . My dad picked them out based on our favorite team. My dad was a Rams fan and my youngest brother got a Rams helmet. My middle brother got a Raiders helmet. I got a Cowboys helmet. By the 80s I had become a Raiders fan instead of a Cowboys fan. I dont know why that happened but it must have been something.
After all those years I had stopped watching by Y2K. I have a lot more time for myself and my friends and family on Sundays and other days as a result. I can watch the old good stuff on Youtube when I want to.
OLD GUY says
There was a day not too far back when the entire stadium would had stood up out of respect for our President no matter which political party he represented. We the people make up this country, not the political parties. It time that our politicians lead by getting things done for Americans and quit wasting time yelling and bitching about each other. It’s not us citizens that are destroying America it is our political leaders who continually fight against each other at the expense of us the tax payers. Do your dam job and you will get my vote no matter which part you are in.
